long filenames

This is a discussion on long filenames within the C Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; I have to make a program to handle filenames longer than 8 characters.
How can i do it using TURBO ...

Or settle down to a long exercise of reading the disk at a low level (for a file system which your old compiler knows nothing about) and lots of reading of M$ manuals which "document" the internal details of how long filenames are stored.
